(A) The equation of the trajectory of a projectile is given by $y = x 	an 	heta - \frac{gx^2}{2u^2 \cos^2 	heta}$.Let $k = \frac{g}{2u^2 \cos^2 	heta}$. Then the equation becomes $y = x 	an 	heta - kx^2$.Since the trajectory passes through $(P, Q)$ and $(Q, P)$,we have:$Q = P 	an 	heta - kP^2$  --- $(1)$$P = Q 	an 	heta - kQ^2$  --- $(2)$Subtracting $(2)$ from $(1)$:$Q - P = (P - Q) 	an 	heta - k(P^2 - Q^2)$$-(P - Q) = (P - Q) 	an 	heta - k(P - Q)(P + Q)$Dividing by $(P - Q)$ (assuming $P 
eq Q$):$-1 = 	an 	heta - k(P + Q) \implies k = \frac{	an 	heta + 1}{P + Q}$.Substitute $k$ into $(1)$:$Q = P 	an 	heta - \left( \frac{	an 	heta + 1}{P + Q} ight) P^2$$Q(P + Q) = P(P + Q) 	an 	heta - P^2 	an 	heta - P^2$$PQ + Q^2 + P^2 = (P^2 + PQ - P^2) 	an 	heta = PQ 	an 	heta$$	an 	heta = \frac{P^2 + Q^2 + PQ}{PQ}$.

$A$ particle is projected with an angle of projection $\theta$ to the horizontal. The trajectory passes through the points $(P, Q)$ and $(Q, P)$ referred to horizontal and vertical axes ($x$-axis and $y$-axis respectively). The angle of projection $\theta$ is given by:
